All transceivers were checked for tuning and noise. No problems were found. 07/06/2004 09:44 alan@ree 0A:LowExcCurrent: The current has dropped, but the coil is in tune, reading pittags, and reading timer tags with high efficiency. PTAGIS Kennewick will continue to monitor. 06/21/2004 16:12 Alan A GMC was performed 6/21/2004. All transceivers were tuned. PC1 is having hard disk trouble. A BSOD was onscreen at my arrival indicating a "disk write error". Scandisk revealed a bad sector that was successfully repaired and quarantined. PC1 is now back in service. The data hole was back filled with data from PC2. PTAGIS Kennewick will monitor the situation and take appropriate action when necessary. No other problems found. 06/19/2004 17:37 Troy I was unable to PCAnywhere into PC1 but I was able to PCAnywhere into PC2 and verified that it is collecting data and is on the appropriate file. I will continue to monitor this for the remained of the weekend and PTOC personnel will be onsite monday to fix this problem. 06/19/2004 16:29 Troy PTOC personnel are looking into the cause of this site not reporting, difficulties with mobil VPN and PCAnywhere are slowing progress 06/15/2004 09:54 Alan A GMC was performed 6/15/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 06/10/2004 09:26 Darren This is a test message sent from the 'legacy' web interface. It should be deposited in the top-level directory of the MC2 Events forum. 06/08/2004 14:25 scott Performed GMC, all transceivers were checked for tune and recalibrated as necessary. Antenna 0F (MC1) has periodic noise spikes up to 13-18 % that cannot be tuned out. Suspect that either the exciter cable conduit is rattling or water in the connector at the antenna may be the culprit. As far as I can tell, Coil 0F's detection efficiency has not been degraded. 06/06/2004 10:20 darren@r 0A:LowExcCurrent: It appears that the current alarm was changed yesterday. We have not seen the alarm since. 06/02/2004 14:14 Alan A GMC was performed 6/2/2004. All transceivers were tuned, no problems found. 05/28/2004 16:05 Darren A site GMC was performed.

All conduit was intact and no straps were missing. The ladder is schedule to be watered up on Friday 2-26-04. 02/23/2004 15:16 Darren The ladder was inspected by PTOC personnel today (2-23-04). No conduit was found to be loose or broken and the antenna's were showing no major signs of wear. The ladder is scheduled to be watered up on 2-26-04. I will contact Brad Eby on Friday to confirm the water up and then PTOC personnel will be on site to tune the system for the upcoming detection year. 02/21/2004 08:40 darren@r 05:TestTagFailure: This site is currently de-watered, the ladder will be inspected by PTOC personnel on Monday. The ladder is scheduled to be watered back up and into operation on 2-26-04. I will verify this when I am on site Monday. 02/20/2004 08:03 darren@r 05:TestTagFailure: The ladder is currently de-watered. The timer tag failure could caused by the de-tuning of the antenna. The ladder is due to be inspecte by PTOC personnel on Monday. 02/19/2004 08:07 darren@r 05:TestTagFailure,09:TestTagFailure,0A:LowExcCurrent: This site was de- watered on 2-17-04. It is due to water back up on 2-26-04. We will clear the alarms and discuss the procedure for the Platforms and Antenna's during down times at the ladders. 02/18/2004 08:37 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:LowExcCurrent,03:LowExcCurrent,04:LowExcCurrent,05:Te stTagFailure,06:LowExcCurrent,09:LowExcCurrent,0A:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcC urrent,0E:LowExcCurrent,10:LowExcCurrent: I was informed by Brad Eby yesterday that the last stoplog was put into place at 10:20 on 2-17-04 and ladder was de-watered throughout the day. I will verify the dates for the outage but I have the ladder scheduled to water up on 2-26-04. PTOC personnel will be onsite between these dates to inspect the ladder. 02/17/2004 08:49 darren@r 06:LowExcCurrent: This site is scheduled to be de-watered today but I have changed the alarm level to eleviate this alarm. I will verify this today with Brad Eby. 02/15/2004 13:04 scottl_l TT did not fire per exception report. Will address problem on the next visit. ~02-4 02/15/04 09:37:41 ALARM Diagnostics for 02: ~02-4 02/15/04 09:37:41 ALARM Temperature: 26C Exciter power: 15.2V ~02-4 02/15/04 09:37:42 ALARM Exciter current: 4.0A Signal level: 3% 02/14/2004 12:40 Scott_Li I was not able to establish communications with either of the primary pc's for these sites from the slow dial-up account in my home. Came into the office to correct the upload isues with PC1 and 2 at both sites. The Primary computers were building one large continuous file since day 43, Fri. Feb 12th. file number being built was 04043.f. This problem has been documented many times in the past and is a prime example of why the latest version of Minimon should be deployed ASAP. 02/10/2004 08:24 darren@r 0C:BadExcFreq,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Overrun: Unit was retuned to avoid the "overrun" conditions. There were no problems after the tune was completed. 02/09/2004 15:42 Darren This site was visited to install new rocketport cards in both PC1 and PC2. The transceivers were checked for tune and noise. This ladder is scheduled to be de-watered on 2-17-04. 02/09/2004 09:22 darren@r 06:LowExcCurrent,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Overrun: Site will be visited to day for rocketport card installation. All transceivers will be checked for tune and noise. 02/04/2004 15:00 darren@r 01:LowExcCurrent,01:Overrun,03:LowExcCurrent,03:Overrun,06:LowExcCurrent,0 B:LowExcCurrent,0C:BadExcFreq,0C:BadOscFreq,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:Overrun,0F :BadExcFreq,0F:BadOscFreq,0F:LowExcCurrent,0F:Overrun,0F:TestTagFailure: All alarms generated on 2-3-04 were caused by PTOC personnel while replacing analog boards. PTOC personnel are in the process of replacing all analog boards to ones that contain NPO capacitors. 02/03/2004 22:46 D._Chase The analog boards were replaced with the original ones that have had the capacitors replaced with NPO capacitors. Transceiver 0F is currently shut down because the analog board did not have the appropriate capacitors in place. The ladder is only going to have water for two weeks and the capacitors will be replaced next week. All replacement boards were needed for changing out Cascade Island during this week. This is a change that has been ongoing with PTOC personnel and Destron Fearing/Digital Angel. 02/03/2004 09:16 Darren_C I spoke with Brad Eby today (2-3-04) and found the ladder schedules have changed slightly. The new schedule is as follows: MC1 - water up has been delayed until the end of week 2-3-04, and they will probably only be at orifice flow at that time. MC2 - Will be de-watered on 2-17-04 and will only be out of commission until 2-26-04. PTOC personnel will be doing ladder inspections during this time period. 01/30/2004 08:08 alan@ruf 0C:BadExcFreq,0C:BadOscFreq,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:TestTagFailure: This transceiver has been replaced. 01/30/2004 08:07 alan@ree 01:LowExcCurrent,0D:LowExcCurrent,0D:Overrun,10:LowExcCurrent,10:Overrun: These alarms were gfenerated by PTOC personel during a site GMC. 01/29/2004 16:35 Alan A transceiver was placed into service at Coil 0C at approximately 15:00 1- 29-2004. 01/29/2004 11:10 alan@ruf 0C:BadExcFreq,0C:BadOscFreq,0C:LowExcCurrent,0C:TestTagFailure: Clearing the TASS panel. This transceiver has been removed from service. 01/29/2004 11:09 Alan A GMC was performed 1-29-2004. All transceivers were tuned. Transceiver 0C ceased functioning within an hour after 2004/01/26 20:21:27. The transceiver I brought to replace it had a bad exciter power supply. Both transceivers will be sent to Destron for evaluation. Currently there is no transceiver 0C. It will be replaced ASAP. No other problems found. 01/27/2004 18:27 dlwarf@r 02:ExcessiveNoise,04:ExcessiveNoise,06:ExcessiveNoise,07:ExcessiveNoise,08 :ExcessiveNoise,0A:ExcessiveNoise,0C:ExcessiveNoise: Noise problems will be addressed on Thursday. 01/21/2004 08:41 Darren_C These sites had not loaded files since 18:00 on 1-20-04. I PCA'd into each site and manually sent files. There seems to have been a router issue because "no path to host" errors were reported on each of the sites PC1-PTTP uploader. All sites sent files without any failures. 01/05/2004 08:16 alan@ree 07:LowExcCurrent: The current alarm is set to 2700mA and the transceiver appears to have drifted out of tune with the current now at about 2600mA. This will be tuned on the next site visit. 01/01/2004 12:00 Dave Initialized new event log for 2004. 2003 event log has been archived. ####End of Event Log for MC2###
